Sad experience…
Apr 2023 • Family
Felt sorry for the animals. They all looked very sad and sick in such poor living conditions. One monitor lizard looked overweight and burnt. We assumed that it kept being fed but didn’t have enough space to move around. They really need to clean it up and make sure ALL the animals are healthy. The two stars is for the rabbit feeding area which my daughter loved.

Animal cruelty
Feb 2023 • Family
The animalsare kept in horrible conditions. They don't even have clean water.
The crocodile show is just people hitting the crocodiles with sticks.
Please don't waste your money!

Awful and upsetting
Jan 2023
This place should be shut down immediately! Hundreds of crocodiles cruelly enclosed in cement ponds of filthy water. A “crocodile show” consists of two boys prodding two crocs with sticks, and dragging one our of its pond by the tail, to get them to react. Hard believe any wildlife-sensitive organization knowing about this place wouldn’t take immediate step to rescue the tormented crocs, find them new homes, and close this place for good.

Thanks but no thanks
Jul 2022
We last visited ten years ago and, at that time the crocodile farm was pretty run down. Visited yesterday and, if anything it had gone markedly down hill. Frankly the pace was a mess showing a lack of maintenance. The condition of the animal enclosures was horrible with some of the animals standing in water and mud waiting and hoping to be fed by visitors. The slogans promoting animal welfare that appeared on some of the enclosures should be regarded as ironic at best. The only reason that it scored 1 star was the rabbits were looking healthy…………

To summarise run down, smelly, expensive with extremely questionable animal welfare practices. Avoid

Meh is an understatement
Oct 2021
Not the best Crocodile farm, but not the worst either. Just a tad bit average. The crocs are humongous, but would love to see more information or facts about crocodiles, for now it's just a rather sad affair of crocs huddled into a single place. Nothing much can be done aside from walking around seeing the animals at their pen, and, you wil finish walking the area after 30 minutes or less. If you just wanna tick it off your list, fine, go there ONCE. But I doubt there's anything that can bring you back for a second visit. When compared to our neighbouring state, Sarawak, they have a far more proper Crocodile Farm/Village, with enticing shows and activities. Learn a thing or two from them, I'm sure this farm will flourish.

Unusual place
Oct 2019 • Family
We spent about 90 minutes at the Tuaran Crocodile Farm.

It’s an usual entry with stuffed crocodiles used as props ie. wearing boots and gloves and doing a range of other human related activities - riding a jet ski.

Into the exhibit itself and it is a bit of a mixed bag as u wander through enclosures containing snakes, rabbits, birds, fish, deer, otters. Some of the enclosures were very well maintained but others appeared neglected and in need of attention...the fluorescent green catfish pond was one and the snake enclosure the other.

Onto the crocodile exhibition and we happened to catch the ‘show’. I have nothing but admiration for the two handlers getting that close to these huge animals but i left feeling very sorry for the two crocodiles who were constantly poked and prodded to do what was required of them to entertain the visitors.

Our visit reminded me that these farms (zoos) do have an important part in helping protect the species (and this farm is doing this) but it also reminded me that forcing animals to undertake such acts for entertainment is not right.

To the farm: Please think about dropping the show and spend more time telling the visitors about the crocodiles themselves and the part your playing in their conservation efforts in Borneo...! Market it accordingly and the tourists will come.

Price: r30 per adult and r20 for a child (4yrs). Then u can pay r1 to hold a baby crocodile and food for the fish and crocodiles is r2.

Reptilian Affair

The access road was not paved. Very high entrance fee for very few shows. Animals were not properly taken care off by looking at where they were kept.

The place is very nice and clean.
Recommended for family with kids to visit, but the fee is pricy even for local.

Very cruel
Jun 2019 • Family
This was a terrible experience for myself and the three children. My daughter left crying, she was so saddened by the conditions that the animal had to live in. The crocodiles have very little space to move around, the shows are awful to witness, sedated crocs being prodded and poked.

We we very upset to see otters in a very small enclosure with nothing to eat and nothing to amuse them. They were making a very distressing nose and seemed to be very anxious and agitated. Next to this was a pen with a large male deer that was rutting against a wire fence which had loose wires sticking out that had cut his eye. Is enclosure was also very small and badly kept. He was clearly very distressed and desperate to get out.

It was heartbreaking to see these animals in such poor conditions. I urge you to avoid the place. Do not give them you money to allow them to commit terrible acts of cruelty on these poor animal.
